Covid Count

DAYTON–There were two new positive COVID-19 diagnoses last week, according to County Public Health Administrator Martha Lanman.

One is a male under the age of 50 who has recovered; the other is a male over 50 recovering at home, so at present, there is one positive case in Columbia County.

In addition, two out-of-county positive residents who are being contact traced, Lanman said.

As of September 8, there have been 13 positives and seven out-of-county.

The Department reports that 533 individuals have been tested negative. There are three tests with results pending.

There's been one death.
